Fort Mitchell's Parade Celebrates
“America,the Beacon of Freedom”
Saturday, July 4, 2009 at 12:30 p.m.
In Fort Mitchell our parade for Independence Day will be on the holiday, Saturday, July 4th, beginning at 12:30 p.m. As we celebrate our freedom on this holiday, the theme chosen for the parade this year is "America, the Beacon of Freedom."
The parade begins at 12:30 at the Diocesan Catholic Children's Home on Orphanage Road, turns right to travel North on Dixie Highway, then turns left onto Beechwood Road and concludes at Beechwood School. Beginning at 11:30 a.m., several streets in Fort Mitchell will be closed including the portion of Dixie Highway between Buttermilk Pike and Expressway Plaza Shopping Center. Please plan accordingly so you reach your destination before streets are closed.
Spectators of the parade are reminded to please stay on the sidewalk and not in the street. We are very concerned for everyone's safety. In the event of an emergency we may need for a life squad or police car to get through in a hurry around the parade traffic and we cannot have children in the roadway. Parents are reminded to please not allow children to run into the street to collect candy. If this continues to be a problem, tossing candy will be prohibited in the future. Because of increased safety concerns, the use of water balloons, water pistols, and other means of throwing water either by the parade participants or by the spectators is prohibited. Thanks for helping keep our parade an event everyone can enjoy! |

TRASH DAYS CHANGING
Trash collection days for all streets in Fort Mitchell that are North of I - 75 will be changing on July 3. At the request of Bavarian, the pick up days will be changing (from Wednesday and Saturday) to Tuesday and Friday. Recycling will not be affected - streets east of Dixie Highway have curbside recycling collection each Tuesday, streets west of Dixie Highway are on Wednesdays. This change in trash collection days for one section of the city will allow better service by utilizing the same driver in this area on both days and it will eliminate a truck from city streets on Saturday mornings. Bavarian will be notifying residents individually of this change by letter. Residents with any questions can contact the City Building at 331-1212 or Bavarian at 485-4416.

Welcome to the City of Fort Mitchell's Web site! We encourage you to browse our site at your convenience.
The City of Fort Mitchell has a population of just over 8,000 people. It is primarily a "bedroom community" for the metropolitan Cincinnati area and is noted for its nice homes and its tree-lined streets. Located on Interstate 71/75 just 5 miles from downtown Cincinnati, it affords its residents and businesses easy access to the entire Cincinnati metropolitan area as well as to the Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky International Airport, which is only 4 miles away, while at the same time providing its residents with a comfortable suburban environment. Because of its proximity to the interstate system, three hotels and a number of office buildings comprise most of a "commercial base" of the city although there are several good restaurants and neighborhood shopping areas conveniently located.
The City is also noted for its quality school systems. The boundaries of the Beechwood Independent School System are almost identical to those of the city. Beechwood offers grades K thru 12 in one small complex, and is one of the highest-rated public school systems in the entire state. Blessed Sacrament School offers a quality parochial grade school K thru 8 and is also located in the city.
One of Fort Mitchell's greatest assets is that it is part of the metropolitan Cincinnati area, and is located on Interstates 71 & 75, less than ten minutes from downtown Cincinnati and the Ohio River in one direction, and ten minutes from the Cincinnati/ Northern Kentucky International Airport in the other direction. Greater Cincinnati has long been viewed as one of America's "most livable" areas. While the metropolitan area of Greater Cincinnati may be considered relatively small when compared to most other major cities, Cincinnati offers the whole list of amenities associated with the larger areas; a great downtown, an attractive riverfront, a superior taste of the Fine Arts, major league sports, one of the nations best zoos, superb dining, and is less than a forty-minute drive from Paramount's Kings Island, located on I-71 north of Cincinnati.
Directions to the City Building/Police Department/Fire Department:
From I 75 take Exit 188 and travel south on Dixie Highway for 3/4 of a mile, we are on the left at 2355 Dixie Highway.
